Adding Velocity
When you use the keyboard to record note sequences in real time, the

sequencer records note velocity along with the note values. It’s easy,

however, to edit the existing values to add more dynamics, or if you’re

creating a sequence in step mode, add them as you go.

To edit velocity on an existing sequence:

1. Hold down the

track

Select

button and press the step LED with the

same number as the track you want to edit. Release the

track

Select

button.

2. Press and briefly hold the LED button for the step that you want to edit.
3. Turn soft knob 2 (

vel

) to set the velocity of the step.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as desired.
5. To listen to the sequence, make sure the

Sequencer

button is on, then

press

play

/

Stop

.

Velocity is only available for editing on Track 1 or Tracks that have (MIDI) Out 1

or Out 2 as their destination.

Sequencer Parameters

Here are the controls and parameters used when interacting with the sequencer.

Sequencer: On, Off—

This switch turns the sequencer on and off. The

sequencer must be on in order to play a sequence.

Step Value: C0...C10, -127...127—

This knob selects a note or numerical

value for the step and parameter being edited.

Slew: -127...127—

Slew is used to create a smooth transition between

successive, discrete control voltage levels. In the case of the sequencer

you can use slew to create glide effects between note values, a smooth

filter cutoff sweep, and so on, depending on the parameter being

sequenced. Lower values create faster transitions.
